The Story

This exquisite Victorian snake ring, crafted in rich 18 karat yellow gold, is a remarkable piece of jewelry history dating back to circa 1873 from Birmingham. The ring features a sleekly sculpted serpent head flush-set with a sparkling old mine cut diamond weighing approximately 0.10 carats. The snake's body fluidly wraps around the finger to form a smooth, multi-coiled band. The side profile captured highlights the seamless, polished contours of the gold design and offers a glimpse into the inner band, where the original historic hallmarks remain beautifully intact. Offered in a ring size 4.75, this antique treasure perfectly embodies the 19th-century romantic tradition of the serpent as a symbol of eternal love and wisdom.
